THE TENNESSEE MIDLAND.
A RAILROAD SURVEY ON THE
PROPOSED ROUTE IN 1885,
Disclosures or Musty Old VOiames
stored Away in the State
Library.

1t is not generally known that 9
question which Is today agitsting the
people OF Tennessee formed leading
Issue in Legislative circles fifty years
ago, namely, the building of a railroad
from the banks OF the Mississippi river
on the west, through the center Of
Tennessee to the Virginia State line,
says the Nashville American OF yester.
day. Among the many rare volumes
stored away In the State Library, are
copies Of Legislative proceedings Of
Tennessee since It's formation as a
state, and last evening Prof. Reese, oil
Vanderbilt University, in glancing
over some Of the volumes, discovered
an exhaustive report bearing on this
subjsct. A reporter OF the american
heard OF the circumstance and through
the courtesy of Superintendent Robert
Quarles, was enabled to find the book,
In the House Journal OF the General
Assembly for the year 1887, commence
ing on page 704, lie found the report OF
Albert Miller Lea, an uncle Of the
Hon. John M. Lea, of this city, and
who was at that time Chief Engineer
OF the State Of Tennessee. The report
covers about sixty pages, and reeites
that 1t was prepared in obedience TO
an act of the Legislature passed 0cto.
Der 20, 1885, directing him to survey a
route for a railroad and turnpike from
some eligible point on the Mississippi
river, as near the center OF the State az
possible, passing through the center OF
the state and terminating on the Vir.
ginia State line, and for the pIosecu.
ticn Of this survey $l5, 900 was sppro-
priated by the Legislature. This road
was to be known as the
CENTRAL TRNNEssEE RAILROAD,
and 1t was the intention OF the Gem
eral Assembly, under the internal
improvement aw, to proceed with the
construction OF this road As a means
OF developing the agricultural and
mineral wealth Of the interior conn
ties OF the State.
The report Is elaborate and exhaus-
tive, and shows that the State was
divided into three sections-W estern,
Eastern and Middle, and three eur
V6yb InHub through 0hCD, anu kuOWn
by the names Of the towns on the
Mississippi, from which they started
The first was called the Randolph
route, the second the Fulton and the
third the Ashport. These routes all
conferred In one after the Tennessee
river was crossed, and by q careful
tracing of the line surveyed 1t will be
found almost identical with that now
being selected by the Tennessee Mid
land engineers.
The estimated cost OF constructing
the entire road is given in the import,
and is placed at sS,84l,7l8. This
amount, divided by 500, which was
the length OF the contemplated road,
gives an average cost per mile Of $l6,-
683.44. What action was taken upon
the report by the Legislature, or Iea-
sons why the project failed, the re-
porter did not have time to investi.

teresting data will be found in perul.

UpOn-Geperal Baseball
Tidlngs.

One thousand persons went out to
Citizens Park yesterday afternoon to
witness the second game OF baseball
between the Memphis and Charleston
cubs, and they saw the home team
win its second consecutive game from
the Charleston aggregation. The ball
tossers from the Earthquake City pre-
scented Smith, their crack pitcher. 1t
did not take the brown legs long to
gauge his delivery. They sized 1t up
from the start and secured eighteen
hits, with total of twenty-five bases,
and earned eight OF the twelve runs
made, Andrews scoring home run
and Force a triple. Smith was ably
supported by Childs and the bAlaGce
Of the team did good work. Black &C.
cup,ed the points Tor Memphis and he
pitched in 50 endid form. He had ex-
cellent control of the ball and had
most OF the Charleston bstteIs at
bis mercy. Up to the eighth inning
the visitors were unable to gauge HE
delivery, but in that inning he lessen
ed his soeed and gave them several
hits McKeoueh caught a pretty
game, and the balance of the team &C.
corded him fine tuppoIt. The feature
of the game WAS Peltx's work in center
field. He made two fine catches, one
OF which was the finest ever made on
the grounds. 1t was in the third in
ming, when two men were on bases.
Powell drove long line fly to lett
center, which looked good for three
bs' es. Peltz was there, however, and
by a hard run caught the ball, retiring
the batter aud the side. The fielding
of both teams was very sharp, and but
for the hard hitting Of the home team
there Is no telling how the game would
hava andad.

JUDGE CHENEY yesterday granted
the motion for new trial in the case
OF Perkins VS.. Baldwin, which created
so great sensation about a year ago,
when Miss Perkins sued E. ]. Baldwin
for damages ior breach OF promise OF
marriage and received verdict Tor
SIS 600. Judge Cheney accompanies
his decision with lengthy opinion,
reviewing the trial and giving his
reasons for granting the motion. lie
first discusses the verdict with refer
ence to the amount of damages
awarded by the jury, and comes to
the conclusion that it was without
pre- cedent and excessive. He had
examined the American reports and
found no verdict for damages SO great
rs this, and but one is referred to in
the courts of England in an action OF
this nature. He then looks for the
reasons in the circumstances OF the
trial for the extraordinary verdict,
and finds that the defendant suffered
from doubtful rulings of the court,
from instructions that are question
able as legal propositions, and from
the character of the appeal made by
defen dant's counsel in his summing
up, overstepping the boundary line OF
perm issable argument, and the same
going to the jury unchecked by the

already been carried out in every
case. They we're very emphatic IN
their recommendation of general vac
cination, and this ought to be fol-
lowed. The surest way OF putting an
end to the disease is to leave it no
material to feed upon. Ii every man.
woman and child in the city were
successfully vaccinated, that would
end it for persons thus protected are
safe from the infection, and if all were
in that condition the disease would
cease with those who are now affect
ed. Therefore, we have only to make
the quarantines in the city thorough,
vaccinate the entire community, aud
improve the accommodations for
patients in the hospital, to bring the
disease to an early termination. The
city authorities are lending all their
efforts to the accomplishment OF these
measures of safety, and We feel as
sured that the trouble will soon be
overcome.

THE Board of Prison Directors, at
their meeting at San Quentin last
Saturday night, discussed number
of very important propositions. They
adopted an order requiring the Prison
Wardens to pay into the State Treas
urv once a month all the moneys
received by them for articles manu-
factured at the prisons, reserving $500
to meet the requirements o. the con-
vict fund. Each discharged prisoner
is entitled to 50. They also took
steps to shut down all the factories at
San Quentin as we'll as to discontinue
stonecutting at Folsom to fill private
orders. Mr.. Devlin offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was carried
unanimously.
Resolred, That it is the sense OF the
Board that they intend to discontinue
at the earliest practicable moment
the operation of all manufacturing
industries at both prisons, except the
manufacture of jute, SO as to prevent
all competition with free labor, and
that inasmuch as such action will
throw out OF employment a large
number of convicts, unless other en-
ployment be found for them, the
Warden of each prison is hereby
instructed to submit to the Board at
the next meeting at Folsom a plan for
working such convicts who shall be SO
thrown out OF employment.

WHEN we find San Francisco
papers wilfully maligning our
city, in feeble attempt to
arrest its splendid prosperity, we
are reminded OF the time when a
financial misfortune overlook us, and
the money-bags of that city refused
to assist us with small accommoda-
ton, even when we offered to put up
a million OF dollars worth of property
to secure one-tenth OF that amount ef
a loan. That generous and far
sighted metropolis let US go to the
wall without pity. We came out OF
that crisis, however, and rose into
prosperity and opulence. Who has
lost by that blind policy? Let the
merchants of San Francisco answer,
who find that the orders they could
once count upon from this section
now go to Eastern cities. Perhaps
the San Francisco journals that are
now libeling US will soon find that
Los Angeles people have no use for
newspapers that delight in spreading
false and malicious reports about
their city.
